The Turbo X Pearl rolls into Ebonite’s Mid Performance line, joining the Turbo X, Turbo X NU, and GB5-line balls at this price point.

As clean as this cover was when paired with this higher-RG (2.517″) core shape, we needed to see some friction on the lane for this ball to be at its best.
Cranker had the best reaction on the medium oil pattern with the Turbo X Pearl. He could be extremely strong with his release, and the ball never tried to hook early. Even when he strapped on it all he wanted, the ball effortlessly floated to the breakpoint. It was strong off the spot, using all the energy it retained by having so much easy length.
